Recent Performances


The Giants have shown commendable performance in their recent games. Despite a narrow loss to the Rockies with a scoreline reflecting a tight contest where they managed to put up one run against three, their overall season record stands impressively at 17 wins and 6 losses. This indicates a strong season form that they will undoubtedly aim to continue. Their hitting stats reveal an area of opportunity with an average (AVG) of .194 in their last game but an on-base percentage (OBP) of .342 showcasing their ability to get players on base despite not always converting these into runs.


On the pitching side, the Giants have demonstrated strength with an earned run average (ERA) of just 2.25 and strikeouts per nine innings (K9) rate at over ten in their most recent outing against the Rockies. This pitching prowess has been crucial in keeping opponents' scores low and will be vital against the Guardians.
